"For anyone interested in human nature, the material is engrossing,
and when the going gets heavy, Pinker knows how to lighten it with
ironic comments and a touch of humor ... a supremely important
book. To have command of so much research, spread across so many
different fields, is a masterly achievement." "The New York Times
Book Review"
..".an extraordinary range of research ... a masterly effort." "The
Wall Street Journal"

make it much harder for pessimists to cling to their gloomy vision
of the future. Whether war is an ancient adaptation or a pernicious
cultural infection, we are learning how to overcome it." Slate.com"
